Can't turn on/off sketch visibility

[jeff_jordan]

I have three sketches.  Two are 2D sketches and the third is a 3D sketch created by the intersection of two surfaces created from the previous two 2D sketches.  The order of the browser is as follows:

Sketch1

Sketch2

Revolution (surface)

Extrusion (surface)

3D Sketch 1

When I go back to edit Sketch 2, Sketch 1 is always showing...regardless of whether or not I turn on/off visibility.  The visibility toggle has no effect.  Sketch 2 has no projected geometry from Sketch 1.

Anyone else having issues like this??

Could you attach the dataset for more investigation?

River,

Attached is a representative part.  Edit Sketch 2 and you'll see Sketch 1 no matter what you do.  Thanks for looking at this!

I could reproduce this, and looks interesting. When there is no feature created based on sketches, it works as expected. And when the sketch visibility is off in master view, it also works as expected. You could have a try.

Thanks,

River,

Very strange.  I switched back to master view and all works as expected.  I deleted WIP view and created a new view...and all worked as expected.  It looks like it had something to do with the WIP view.  Our part templates have this view already created...could this be the issue?  Thanks again for looking at this...at least I can work around it.

Hi Jeff,

I could reproduce this issue from scratch, and it should not be related to the template.

Thanks,

Jeff,

For your reference, the defect number is 1466402.

This defect is becoming unbearable in more complex skeletal models.

Could you send me @ river-yijiang.cai@autodesk.com  the dataset for more investigation?

Thanks,

Jeff,

We identified the problem to be caused by the way we handle visibility in viewreps in a part (viewreps existed in assemblies but were newly introduced in parts in 2012).

Prior to editing your sketch, can you activate the Master viewrep in the part browser and make the sketch (first sketch)  that you don't want to see, invisible in the Master viewrep? Then edit your second sketch with the Master viewrep still active.

Hopefully this will take care of that first sketch showing up when you don't want it to.

Bob,

Thank you for the reply.  This seems to take care of the issue.  A little confusing as to why the sketch visibility of a new view rep is handled in the master view rep...especially when the new view rep is not locked.  Changes to the view rep should stick when unlocked.  But this gets me by...thank you.
